Draw some feathers shape that you like on a piece of hard paper and cut them.
The top part of the feathers should be large like the crimps.
Draw the shape you made on the leather and cut the shape on the leather, you can use different color of leather.
The bottom edges of the feather should not be sharpen because if not the leather get curly: so cut away a small pieces of it.

Make one bigger,and some smaller. The smaller one you are going to use them twice.
